00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.480
Callaroga Shark Media. If you skip
the weekend, please go back and listen
2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.720
to Saturday and Sunday. I pulled
a bunch of clips on Saturday with Joe
3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:19.600
Rogan and Kat Williams. Sunday a
bunch of clips from Jim Norton's Fantastic interview
4
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.960
on Neil Brennan's Blocks podcast. Hello, I'm Johnny mackin. This is Today's
5
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.399
daily comedy News. A couple of
good jokes from Late Night. President Biden
6
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.399
recently had his physical Jimmy Feln said, when asked about his mental state,
7
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.439
the doctor said, the President's in
healthy physical condition. Golbert said, we
8
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.960
also got a list of all the
medications Joe Biden takes for allergies, blood
9
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.159
pressure, and heartburn. They're all
pretty common eloquis crestwords. I missed a
10
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.399
allegra, pepsid and nexim. Thanks
Joe. I believe that's every one of
11
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:52.600
our sponsors. Et Online talked to
Taylor Thomlinson and asked her about this nonsense
12
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.240
where people compare her to Taylor Swift. I get they're both in their thirties
13
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.799
and they're both named Taylor, and
I guess they look more like each other
14
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.759
than either one of them looks like
me, so like, I get that,
15
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.959
but it's kind of lazy guys.
Taylor says, I don't know who's
16
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.760
doing that. There's a couple of
comments on Instagram. I'm not doing that.
17
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.480
I would never compare myself to Taylor
Swift. I'm garbage compared to her.
18
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:17.000
I think it's mostly the name.
Yes Et Online says like everyone's favorite
19
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.000
ANTSI hero Tomlinson's act features a few
digs at some of her ex'es. Though
20
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.840
they aren't famous, they aren't excused
for making their way in to one of
21
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.519
her bits. She says, anyone
who dates a comedian, it has to
22
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.480
go in knowing that I dated comedians, and I went in knowing that.
23
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.480
So this is if I were you, I would not date a comedian.
24
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.040
I mean, I know why comedians
date each other because we both know the
25
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.400
deal. But a person who's not
in this business might be very scary.
26
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.799
It'd be like, oh, we
were just kind of on the record all
27
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.000
the time. Stand up is a
solo sport. It's an isolated thing in
28
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.959
a lot of ways, and I
love it. I love being on tour.
29
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.040
I have a good friend who Wiltmes
for me, I love my tour
30
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:49.799
manager. I've never really been in
a situation where I have to create something
31
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.159
new every day with a group of
people that I really expect and admire.
32
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.000
I'm a stand up first and foremost, and I love to tour. So
33
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:57.480
when I took the first meeting with
the TV producers, they were like,
34
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.280
we know what you're gonna say,
only going to film Monday through Wednesday,
35
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.640
which means you could tour on the
weekends. Once I knew that, I
36
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.400
was like, oh, well,
then I guess I should really think about
37
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.439
it. The more meetings we had, the more people I met who were
38
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.240
involved with the project, the more
I wanted to do it. Her dream
39
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.840
guest Conan O'Brien. I think Conan
would be fun. It's probably a big
40
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.280
ask, but I would love if
Conan did the show. Conin's going to
41
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.960
do the show. He's got a
new show coming out himself. You'll want
42
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.680
to promote Conin's one hundred percent to
do that show. David Cross spoke to
43
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.240
the Consequence of Sound and talked about
the film work he does and the TV
44
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.319
work he does and the stand up
and he says it's kind of in the
45
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.000
middle I've done numerous kinds of indie
films that don't pay much at all,
46
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.680
and I've done big budget films that
pay a lot of money. And I
47
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.719
do works on shows where you don't
get it's out of money, but you
48
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.280
get something. And I have done
my own shows which paying me more because
49
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.520
I'm writing, directing and producing and
sometimes acting and stand ups sort of in
50
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.879
the middle there. He has a
podcast and said, I didn't expect to
51
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.639
enjoy it as much as I have, Well, then why started. It's
52
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.560
called Sinces Working Overtime and features him
in conversations with guests like Jason Bateman,
53
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:59.479
Michael Sarah Mark, Maren Janine Garoffalo
Amber Tamblin, Eugene Merman, and Steve
54
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.759
oh Across that I've been asked for
years to put something together and didn't have
55
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.599
any interest. Then I was like, all right, fine, but I
56
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.280
really enjoyed it. It comes naturally
to me. They're all these interesting,
57
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.240
funny people. We're friends. He
came to the realization that, look,
58
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.599
if you want to keep touring and
you want to make money, then the
59
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.039
podcast will help you with that.
I don't know. That doesn't make me
60
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.439
feel good. You don't sound like
you want to do a podcast at all?
61
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.120
Right, it just sounds like,
oh, I have to do this.
62
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.840
That's not fun. David Cross he's
working on his next stand up special
63
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.759
and says I'm in the very beginning
stages of doing that again for the next
64
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.599
tour that'll probably start in the fall. Next year is the thirtieth anniversary of
65
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.840
Mister Show. We'll see if they
do a reunion. Across's new special,
66
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.560
worsd Statty in the World is on
YouTube if you want to check that out.
67
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.759
Adam Sailor believes Lorne Michaels isn't quite
ready to retire from Saturday Night Live.
68
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.240
Sailor told Entertainment tonight, I don't
see that happening. I don't know.
69
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:47.400
Maybe somebody said he might, but
I talked to Lauren. I think
70
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.759
he's saying enough. He's rocking,
he loves it. Yeah, but Lorne
71
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.360
Michaels is seventy nine years old.
In November of this year, he'll be
72
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.479
eighty, so he'll be eighty years
old at the time of next year's big
73
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.159
fiftieth anniversary special. Isn't that the
time to get out like they always say,
74
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.560
get out on top? Why do
season fifty one and now ice you're
75
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.560
retiring. Let the whole thing be
a big farewell tour next year, culminating
76
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.960
in the coronation at the fiftieth anniversary. You know you could stay on in
77
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.959
like an emeritus role and say that
you're helping Tina Fey or Seth Myers,
78
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.560
whoever takes over for Lorne. But
like, I'm not saying he's bad,
79
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.120
I'm just saying you're eighty. Like
this is exactly the time to get out,
80
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.560
like Tom Brady and Tampa. He
should have left after winning that Super
81
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.000
Bowl, played one year too many. If you enjoy you what I do

go check out the Weekly Comedy Thing
on the Live one app free and
95
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.800
free Do it Rama. Yusef grew
up in New Jersey. He said he
96
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.879
didn't envision being a comedian. He
said, I never had this larger ambition
97
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.639
because I didn't think it was feasible. It didn't feel real. When he
98
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.319
was a teenager, he saw the
Arab American Comedy Festival and Access of Evil
99
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.199
Comedy Tour. I always have loved
the name of that tour begin picking up
100
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.319
steam. So by the time he
had college, the idea of performing a
101
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.120
taken route. He dropped out of
school, landed a role on Sea Dad
102
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.240
Run, which apparently was a Nicked
Knight sitcom starring Scott Bayo Rolling Stone Ads
103
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.040
four years before Scott Bayo became one
of the highest profile Trump supporters in the
104
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.040
entertainment industry. Interesting note there,
Rolling Stone, the arabnews dot com You're
105
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.959
home for comedy news, spoke to
Russell Peters. He gave the advice identify
106
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.480
your dream and actively chase it.
It's far more rewarding and have pursued your
107
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.639
dream even if you fail than a
passively wonder about it. He said in
108
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.000
the early days, he would drive
hours to perform, earning fifty dollars plus
109
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.319
chicken wings a tank of gas in
a soda. He said, if I
110
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.439
stayed, I'd be an exact same
financial position I would have been had I
111
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.720
gone, so I wasn't losing anything. And if I'd stay there, I'd
112
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.560
be talking to people for free.
I'd just remember all the hard gigs,
113
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.879
those were the fun ones. He
has enjoyed his visits to the Kingdom.
114
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.839
He admires the generosity of the Saudi
people. He says, I remember at
115
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.000
the hotel they said, how did
you sleep? And I said, honestly,
116
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.519
it was the best most comfortable bed
I've ever felt in my life.
117
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.000
When I came back to my hotel
room, they had packed up all the
118
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.920
stuff that I complimented and shipped it
to me in America. As for the
119
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.839
venue, he said, the acoustics
there are great because it's built for that,
120
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.279
and they put the sound dampeners in
there. The same can't be said
121
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.360
for I just performed in Egypt.
Will Forte is sad he got to see
122
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.800
Coyote Versus Acme. He says,
it's incredible. This movie has been parked
123
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.560
by Warner Brothers on Twitter, because
that's what we call it. Elon wrote
124
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.160
to the cast and crew of Coyote
Versus Act Me, I know that a
125
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.560
lot of you have not gotten a
chance to see our movie, and sadly
126
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.079
it's looking like you never will.
When I first heard that our movie was
127
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.759
getting deleted, I hadn't seen it
yet. Yeah, some kind of right
128
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.399
off thing, So I was thinking, when everybody else must have been thinking,
129
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.399
that this thing must be a hunk
of junk. But then I saw
130
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.439
it and it's incredible, super funny
throughout, visually stunning, sweet, sincere,
131
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.439
and emotionally resonant in a very earned
way. And as the credits rolled,
132
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.480
I just sat there thinking how lucky
it was to be part of something
133
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.160
so special. I quickly turned a
confusion and frustration this is the movie they're
134
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:31.560
not going to release. Look,
when it comes to Hollywood business stuff,
135
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.600
I don't know stuff about stuff.
Even when a movie tests well like ours,
136
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.720
there's no guarantee it's going to be
a hit. And at the end
137
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.560
of the day, that people paid
for the movie can obviously do whatever they
138
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.199
want with it. Doesn't mean I
have to like it or agree with it.
139
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.120
It doesn't mean that this movie is
anything less than magnificent. You would
140
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.079
be so proud of it. A
movie that should be seen, but won't,
141
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:55.399
The Hollywood Reporter had reported as a
reporter would do that. Warner Brothers
142
